HorseBack UK started from an idea by Jock and Emma Hutchison. Originally the plan was to set up a commercial enterprise providing clients with access to the beautiful surroundings of Royal Deeside on well trained quality American Quarter Horses using the western style of riding.

Following a Christmas with friends, many of whom were ex military it was recognised that there was a definite need to help soldiers on return from active service or those who had already left and hence HorseBack the charity was formed.

This process proved to be quite a lengthy one with research and subsequently evidence required to substantiate equine therapy and the value of a rural and natural environment.

Word began to get out about the plans for HorseBack and several people living locally have volunteered their time to help with the day to day chores of working with a large amount of horses. These helpers range from an ex-marine who served in the Falklands and has been diagnosed with PTSD to a seventeen year old who joins the Blues and Royals in the new year.
